Is BJP Playing Caste Card In Nagarjunasagar?

Update: 2020-12-23 01:58 GMT
It is now becoming increasingly clear that the Telangana BJP leadership is set to chose young Kadari Anjaiah Yadav as its candidate to contest the Nagarjunasagar bypoll. The party feels that he is the right candidate to contest and win the bypoll.

Nagarjunasagar bypoll has become very important as it is coming in the wake of Dubbak and GHMC victories for the BJP. The party wants to continue the momentum and win the seat. Yadav is the likely BJP candidate as there are over 50000 Yadav voters.  In fact, Nomula  Narsimhaiah, whose demise caused the bypolls, too came from the Yadav community. In addition,  the leadership of Bandi Sanjay, D Aravind and others will also lure the BC voters, who constitute around one lakh votes. The party hopes that the ST voters, who number around 20000, too will vote for the BJP.  The party is also trying to woo the Kamma voters, who number around 6000.

Kadari Anjaiah Yadav, who joined the BJP from the TDP, had got around 20000 votes as a TDP candidate in 2014 assembly elections. In 2018, he joined the BJP and has been working for the party ever since.
